Hello everyone, I'm back. Sorry for the long wait, there has been a
lot going on in my life right now, hopefully it will slow down now. Thank
you to my beta reader Lenora the Trekkie. Anyways I hope you enjoy. As
always I do not own anything I'm writing except the character of 3 of 20.
So please don't steal her...she's mine...all mine.

"Why are you afraid? We won't hurt you." Tuvok's logical voice told the girl.
"I...I don't remember it all...it's been a long time...I think I was only three years old at the time." She replied, still unsure as to who these people were. They seemed safe enough but she just couldn't let herself trust them. She had learned that much in what life she remembered...you can't trust people, if they are afraid of you, and right now she could tell that they were afraid of her...afraid of what she was. They knew. At least knew a little. She had tried to block it, but it came to her in full force. Another woman entered the room...a half Klingon by the look of her, Three calmed herself down. Klingons were better...how she knew that she didn't know...she would be safe, but she just couldn't tell yet.
"Captain, after examining the ship we brought in, I have come to a very interesting conclusion." Lieutenant B'Elana Torres addressed to the captain, completely ignoring everyone else in the room.
"And that is Lieutenant?" The captain asked.
"The ship is intact, and it is not a Borg vessel, but a Corean one, I'm surprised it lasted this long without being integrated into the Borg systems." B'Elana exclaimed.
"They wanted to study it, to see if it held any of the secrets they wanted." Three spoke up suddenly breaking the quiet, she stood up. "They were studying it the same as they were studying me and my parents." Everyone stood watching the young girl, shocked at the news that they had been given.
"Why would the Borg want to study a ship too?" B'Elana asked.
"Because there were secrets in that ship, personal logs, data, information. Things that I don't know about, the information they wanted was too locked and secure, they couldn't get to it but it wasn't for lack of trying."
"How do you know that?" Captain Janeway asked her.
"I...don't know but, remember bits and pieces of my past. Its not a lot to go on I know." Three responded her head swimming in lost thoughts and bits and pieces of memories she couldn't understand or put together.
"You're safe now Three, if you would like you can stay here on Voyager...we are pretty far from home right now, so we wont be able to contact your family." Kathryn took a breath and waited to give her the news that hopefully would keep Three on the ship. "Voyager is a ship that is a family itself, you can trust us all. So what do you say?" Kathryn finished and watched her as Three closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.
To Three she could tell that this was the most important decision that she would have to make possibly in her life, and their was really only one choice in her mind. These people were very caring and she would be accepted, people would understand her.
"I'll stay." Three said firmly and smiled for the first time in years, it wasn't much but in Kathryn Janeway's mind Three had just made a huge step.
"Good, now I would like you to stay in sick bay and rest for a while, do what the doctor tells you, I know he can be annoying sometimes" Kathryn smiled at her.
"Do I get any respect in my own sick bay?" The doctor asked annoyed at what the Captain had said. B'Elana stifled a laugh at what the captain had said; even Tuvok looked a little amused, for a Vulcan.
"Of course you do," The captain turned and addressed her chief engineer, "B'Elana I want you to look into that ship see what information you can get from it, logs only, I don't want you to get into the systems yet." "Of course Captain, I will get Ensign Kim to help me on that" B'lana answered. The captain nodded her approval and B'Elana left the room. Captain Janeway turned to leave sick bay, first she motioned to Tuvok, "Well, what do you think Tuvok?" She asked him quietly so the Doctor and Three wouldn't hear.
"Her responses to your questions could merit that she has the traits of a Corean, they might be lying dormant. It is too soon to tell." Tuvok concluded.
"I know what you mean, we will just have to wait and see. I want you to stay with her assist the doctor in anything he asks." The captain ordered Tuvok.
"Of course Captain," Tuvok went over to the doctor who was helping Three to get back on the bio bed, she was very weak, she was going to need to rest to get her strength back. The doctor noticed the captain, as she was about to leave the sick bay.
"Captain, may I speak to you before you leave?" he asked.
"Of course, what do you need" Captain Janeway replied reluctant to have to speak to the doctor even more.
"There is something else about Three, that you need to know." He told her. The Captain was waiting for an explanation, the Doctor realized this and went on, "Because she wasn't assimilated totally, she doesn't need to regenerate as long as someone like Seven or Icheb. Therefore I am suggesting that she not be quartered in Cargo Bay 2." The doctor informed the Captain.
"She needs quarters, well I am certainly not putting her on her own. We will have to have someone take her in. Have any suggestions, Doctor?" The Captain asked.
"In fact I do." The doctor told him the name of the person, Captain Janeway smiled.
"I think you're right, but I will go to them, just in case." Captain Janeway left the room and the Doctor smiled to himself, he felt very...proud of himself. He went over to Three and told her he was giving her something to sleep. As Three drifted off to sleep her thoughts were finally at peace and were comforted by her new life.
